L&G Building & Concrete review: $98,750, 209 days, no finished building
In February 2026 I signed a contract with L&G Building & Concrete of Asheboro, North Carolina, for a 50×80 metal building and the concrete under it. This site is my record of what happened next: the contract, the money, the photos, the inspections and the public records, laid out so you can check every piece yourself.

What about $93,000 has bought so far
Why I built this instead of leaving a one-star review
A one-star review is easy to write and easy to dismiss. Nobody reading it can tell whether the customer was unreasonable or the company was. I would rather show you the paperwork.
I paid for a certified building with engineered plans, a 6-inch slab and inspected footings. In April the footings were dug to 12 inches when L&G’s own plans called for 14, failed the county inspection, and I was charged extra for the fix, then charged for a concrete pump that was on no invoice I had signed. When I was told the pad was ready to pour I measured about 4½ inches. The building was delayed for months and my requests for a refund were refused.
In September a crew finally arrived, five days after the date I was given, put up half the frame, left my plumbing stub-ups leaning and gouged, and stopped. L&G then told me I needed to supply a different telehandler, despite having texted me that anything beyond my one-week rental “runs through us,” and asked for the installation payment that my paperwork says is due at completion. I have paid about $93,000.
Some of that is documented on this site today. Some of it is waiting on records I have requested from the county and on files I am still organizing, and those spots are marked so you know the difference. If L&G finishes the job or shows me I have something wrong, that goes on the site as well.
What the contract says, next to what I have
Left column: L&G’s own signed paperwork. Right column: my account of my own project. Photos and texts are linked. County records and payment confirmations are being added as they are released.
| Item | The contract | My project |
|---|---|---|
| Slab thickness | Company statementThe concrete contract specifies 6 inches under the building and 4 inches under each lean-to, at 3,500 psi, for $37,380. | My project recordTold the pad was ready to pour, I stood a tape on the vapor barrier. The string line crossed it at about 4½ inches. Photo P-01. |
| Footings | Company statement“1x1 footers” plus two strip footers for $9,594, marked “inspection required.” If the inspector wants them deeper, the customer pays. | My project recordThe plans L&G gave me call for 14-inch footings. The crew dug 12. They failed inspection and I was charged extra for the correction, then for a concrete pump that is on no invoice I signed. County reports requested. |
| Concrete quality | Company statement“L&G Building and Concrete does not offer warranty on concrete.” The sheet says cracks “are bound to happen.” | My project recordA long crack that runs through a control joint, five months after the pour. Photo P-03. Decide for yourself whether you would accept it on a $48,199 concrete job. |
| Telehandler | Company statementOrder form: customer provides the lift, for one week. By text, L&G: “if we need it long it runs through us” and “if we need it longer I’ll get my own” lift. | My project recordI paid $2,000 for the rental. The crew came five days late, put up half the building, and I was told to supply a different telehandler. Read the texts. |
| Damage on site | Company statementThe customer agrees to hold L&G harmless for damage to “submerged lines, pipes, cables.” | My project recordPlumbing stub-ups left leaning and gouged, with tire tracks on the slab around them. They were upright before the pour. I contend it happened during L&G’s install. Photos. |
| Refunds | Company statement“All down payments are non refundable. … All sales are final.” | My project recordDuring months of delay I asked repeatedly for my money back so I could hire someone else. Refused. |
| Finish date | Company statementNone. The packet has no start date, no completion date and no remedy for delay. | My project recordDay 209 and counting. L&G has asked for the $8,568 installation payment, which its own Balance Breakdown says is due “upon building completion.” |
General contractor license: still checking
Official record
North Carolina requires a general contractor license when a project is $40,000 or more. My project was $98,750. I have not yet been able to match a license to L&G Building and Concrete for this job. That is not the same as saying none exists. I have asked the board directly and will post its answer here, whichever way it comes out.
What I can tell you today is what the contract says: “we are manufacturers not contractors.” The permit for this project is in my name, because the contract made permits my job.

I am not the only one who has written about this company
Other L&G customers have posted public reviews and complaints describing delays, cracked concrete, lift charges that were not in their contracts, and payment standoffs. L&G has answered several of them and disputes parts of what they say. There is a five-star review in there too.
I summarize each one with the company’s reply beside it and a link to the original. They are other people’s allegations. I cannot verify them and I do not present them as fact.
Buying a metal building near Hickory or Asheboro?
L&G’s contract made the permit my job, and I had to learn how my county works on my own. I have written up what I found for the counties around my project and around L&G’s home base, with each office’s contacts checked against its own website.
Alexander County · Catawba County · Caldwell County · Burke County · Iredell County · Randolph County · Guilford County
There are also guides built on my real numbers: what a metal building costs in NC, what the slab costs, how to check slab thickness and footing depth.

Questions people ask about L&G Building & Concrete
Is this the official L&G Building & Concrete website?
No. This is an independent review written by a customer. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by L&G Building & Concrete LLC of Asheboro, North Carolina. The company’s own website is lgbuildingsandconcrete.com.
What did you hire L&G Building & Concrete to do?
A certified 50×80×16 vertical-roof metal building with two 12-foot lean-tos, plus the concrete: a 6-inch slab under the building, 4-inch slabs under the lean-tos, footers, grading and a vapor barrier. The signed project total was $98,750.
Did L&G finish the building?
Not as of September 17, 2026, which is 209 days after I signed. A crew arrived on September 3, five days after the scheduled date, put up about half of the steel frame and stopped. There is no roof and there are no walls. I have paid about $93,000. I will update this site if that changes.
Does L&G Building & Concrete warranty its concrete?
No. The contract packet includes a separate sheet that the customer signs, stating that L&G does not offer any warranty on concrete. The building carries a 90-day workmanship warranty and a 10-year sheeting warranty.
Did you get the 6-inch slab you paid for?
I do not know yet. My contract specifies 6 inches under the building. When I was told the pad was ready to pour, I stood a tape measure on the vapor barrier and the string line crossed it at about 4½ inches. The photo is on this site. Only core samples can show what the finished slab measures, and I intend to have them taken.
Who pays for the telehandler on an L&G Building & Concrete job?
On my order the lift was listed as customer-provided at $0, for one week. By text, L&G’s installation contact told me that if the crew needed it longer “it runs through us” and “I’ll get my own” lift. I paid $2,000 for the rental. The crew came five days late, and after half the building was up I was told to supply a different telehandler. The texts are published on the telehandler page.
Is the deposit refundable?
The terms say all down payments are non-refundable and all sales are final. One page allows a refund, minus the salesperson’s commission, if your county sends a written letter rejecting your permit. My deposit was $19,700. During months of delay I asked for a refund more than once and was refused.
Is L&G Building & Concrete a licensed general contractor in North Carolina?
I do not know yet, and I am not going to guess. North Carolina requires a general contractor license for projects of $40,000 or more. I have not yet matched a license to the company for my job and have asked the licensing board to confirm. The contract itself says L&G is a manufacturer and not a contractor. I will publish the board’s answer.
Why should I believe you?
You do not have to. Every claim on this site is tagged by where it comes from: official records, my own project records, L&G’s own statements, or other customers’ reports. Where I am giving an opinion I say so, and where a document is still on its way I say that too.
What if L&G says something here is wrong?
It can send documentation to the corrections address on the company response page. If reliable records show I have a fact wrong, I will fix it and note the correction publicly.
